User installation -------------------- Just type "%%EXECBASE%%" after you have successfully installed the package. If there is no installed OO.org dir in your homedir, you'll be prompted to install some files and choose an installed JDK. The setup installs a ".openoffice.org%%RELEASE_NR%%.%%MILESTONE%%" folder in your homedir. If the setup tells you there is already an installed version, you may look in the file ".sversionrc" located in your homedir. In this file, OpenOffice and StarOffice will have a line for each version that is installed. After removing the problematic line you should be able to install the package again. 2. Starting OO.org ------------------ There are some wrappers installed for faster startup. Add "%%PREFIX%%/bin/" to your PATH and you will be able to use them. %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%% %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-sagenda %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-scalc %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-sdraw %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-setup %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-sfax %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-simpress %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-spadmin %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-sweb %%PREFIX%%/bin/%%EXECBASE%%-swriter OO.org does need $LANG to be set to a suitable value. 3.
